The first Batman movie starring Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson came out when I was seven years old. I thought Nicholson's portrayal was the sh*t. In many ways, I still do. However, after seeing Heath Ledger in the second Dark Knight movie, it makes it all the sadder that he's dead now. He had many good years left in him.

Obviously, I'm not big on Batman. But from reading a few graphic novels with those involving the Joker, I think Ledger nailed it... a totally twisted and demented sociopathic who's nothing short of terrifying. Damn brilliant.

Well, I think Nicholson and Ledger both did very good jobs for their respective parts. I can't attest to Cesar Romero since I never really saw the old series. Anyway; Nicholson played the Joker as more an absolute loon than anything else. Whereas Ledger's Joker was more a complete psychopath. Both did well, I thought. They just did two rather different things with the characters.
